Abstract

Dual-functional photocatalysis for simultaneous \H2\ production and degradation of organic pollutants has been proposed as an ecofriendly method of water treatment. In this study, we designed and prepared TiO2 modified with ternary components (graphene oxide (GO), Pt, or fluoride (or phosphate)) to enhance the dual-functional photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties of the ternary hybrid photocatalyst were investigated and compared with those of photocatalysts modified with binary components (Pt/TiO2
